> My Little Pony: Film is Magic (The Cat in The Hat 1971) > by MLPstories101 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Something about a book > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight and her friends all solved the case of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and are now finding out what to do. It had been a week since they solved the case and there were no new events happening in Equestria. So, what to do? "Well, I don't know about y'all, but I'm bored." Applejack said bluntly. "Yeah, after we kicked Judge Doom (or should I say "dipped") Judge Doom, I felt like I had the most fun out of any pony." Rainbow Dash said. Twilight then heard a door open to see Spike coming in with something in his hand. It appeared to be a book, which of course, Twilight took right away. "Thank you, Spike! I've been looking for something new to read for a while now!" Twilight said excitedly. She then looked at the cover to reveal the title "The Cat in The Hat". Everyone stared at each other in confusion. "The Cat in The Hat? What kind of book is that?" Pinkie said confused. “I think it’s the name of the cat on the cover. Look, he’s wearing a hat on his head. So he’s The Cat in The Hat!. Twilight said. She then opens the book to read a page or 2. The Sun did not shine, it was too wet to play, so we sat in the house all that cold cold wet day. “Yeah no kidding. I would be bored out of my mind too if it was raining and I had nothing to do.” Said Rainbow Dash. Twilight kept reading. I sat there with Sally, we sat there, we two. And I said “How I wish we had something to do. “So Sally is the name of the boy that’s right there right?” Rarity said pointing to the two figures in the picture. Twilight took a closer look and thought for a moment. “I think Sally is the name of the girl, not the boy.” Said Twilight. “Then what do y’all reckon that youngins’ name is called?” Applejack said. “I have no idea. I guess we’ll keep reading and find out.” Twilight’s said. She kept reading the page before moving on to the next. Too wet to go out and too cold to play ball, so we sat in the house, we did nothing at all. “Wow, that sounds absolutely dreadful. Imagine not having anything fun to do while you’re at home.” Fluttershy said. Twilight turned the page and read the text out loud. So all we could do was sit, sit, sit, sit, and we did not like it. Not one little bit. “Wow, imagine not being able to do anything fun, it could make you go insane.” Spike said. And then, something went BUMP! How that bump made us jump. “Well, that got them to stop moping in front of the window.” Rainbow Dash said. Twilight then turned the page only to be met with a DVD of The Cat in The Hat. “Wait, what? There aren’t anymore pages?” Twilight said. “Guess not.” Spike said. She took a look at the DVD and realized she noticed a slot in the TV that was small and could fit something inside. She raced over to the TV while her friends followed suit. She then put the DVD into the TV and it turned on. The vortex opened up again, but this time, something held the others back while it only sucked Twilight in. “TWILIGHT!!!” They all shouted in unison. Twilight was screaming through the vortex before being spat out on the other side. > Two kids sitting doing nothing > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight then twirled in the vortex until she was spat out on the other side. She then got up and noticed her surroundings, she was in a house, very similar to the one in the book. She then looked around and noticed two kids sitting in front of the window, similar to the ones in the book, and upon closer glance, it was raining outside. “So this plays out exactly like the book.” Twilight said before a voice came over, presumably the narrator. The Sun did not shine, it was too wet to play, so we sat in the house all that cold, cold wet day. “Yep this plays out exa-“ before she could finish, she heard another voice. “Goodbye kids, I’m leaving now. Have fun! I’ll be back at uhm.. uh- 3:30 sharp.” The voice said presumably the mother before walking out and closing the door. Twilight then got the idea that this plays nothing like the book. “Ok so this doesn’t play like the book but the setting is similar.” Twilight said. Then the narrator came on again. Sit by the window, just sit there and stew, and wish there was something. He said before yawning. Something to do. Too gooey and funky outdoors to play ball, nothing to it. Nothing at all. “Is the narrator tired or something? If so why is he reading the story?” Twilight said confused. Twilight then looked around. She noticed a bunch of toys, they look like they’ve been used, they can’t use something that’s already been used. Then she looked at the two kids at the window. She then got a feeling of dread in her heart, she would hate to be them right now. She then noticed a fish who looks like he’s doing the same thing she’s doing. She then looked to find another room with puzzles, a baby in a carriage, and a woman and a bear having a tea party. “I don’t think they wanna use any of this stuff.” Twilight said. She then looked at the kids before the narrator spoke again, making her jump. Norhing to do but sit, sit, sit. Just sit in the house, just sit there and grump. She then noticed the fish going to sleep so she decided to do the same. Then, all of a sudden, something went… BUMP! Sure enough something did go bump. It startled the fish, the kids, even startled Twilight. They all looked to notice the front door open. An umbrella was shown and closed, before a hat with red stripes was also shown scooping the air. We then see two furry feet wiping on the carpet before they all jumped at the sight of what they saw. Find out more in the next chapter! > The Cat in The Hat > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Taking back the events of the last chapter. As the figure showed himself, everyone was in complete shock, even the kids were like that. Twilight then got a click in her memory. She remembered that this specific cat was exactly like the one shown on the cover of the book. "Look!" Sally said. "A cat," Sam said "In a hat!" Sally added back. "You will note, I am neat. Wiped my feet on the mat." The cat said before running towards a roller blade and riding it. The mat then flew up towards the fish and almost hit him, but Twilight was quick and caught it in her magic. The fish looked to see who it was and was about to say something before the cat came back and pushed a vase that almost fell over back to its original position. He slowed down by using his umbrella to lower the speed, closed it, and kicked the skateboard away. He then looked at the kids and got a surprised look on his face. "Why must you- why do you sit there like that? I know it is wet and the sun is not sunny, I know it is damp and the sidewalks are runny. But what I can't see," The cat said. The fish then decided to interject. "Now you listen here cat," The fish said before the cat interrupted him. "Is why you'd sit there like that. I know some good games we can play." The cat said. "Listen cat." "I know some great tricks." Listen Cat in The Hat!" "I know that your mother won't mind if I do, and I'm simply itching, to show them to you, and to you." The cat said pointing at the kids. The fish then got out of his bowl and flopped towards the cat. "Out of this house. I'm warning you, get-" The fish said. "Who's that? I believe that we haven't yet met." The cat said looking at the fish. "The name is Crinklebein. Carlos K. Crinklebein." The fish said introducing himself to the cat. The cat replied with an 'oh' before the fish spoke again. "Now please go away. Tell that top-hatted cat he should not be about. He should not be here while your mother is out." The fish said. Twilight then decided now would be a good time to say something. "Uhh *ahem*. Hello there kids and cat.. and fish." Twilight said. Everyone then turned their attention towards the pony. "Well, as I live and breathe a pony! I thought everyone said ponies are a phony." The cat said. "No Mr. Cat, I assure you I am real." Twilight said. "Well, I believe we haven't yet met either." The cat said. "Well then allow me to introduce myself. My name is Twilight Sparkle, the princess of friendship! I know your name is Crinklebein, and you name is Cat in The Hat," Twilight said pointing to the fish and the cat. "But who are you two?" Twilight said pointing towards the kids. "My name is Sam, and this is Sally my sister." Sam said introducing himself and his sister. "Once again, that cat should not be here when their mother is out!" Crinklebein said to the kids. He then flopped back to his fish bowl. "My dear Mr. Crinklebein, my tricks are quite safe. I invite you to join in the fun if you wish." The cat said while the fish blew bubbles, which the cat then picked up and stacked without fail. Twilight saw this and almost fainted. "A game that I call.. Up-Up-Up with a fish!" The cat said letting go of the bubbles. The fish was then balancing on bubbles which everyone noticed and were shocked by what was happening. The kids were shocked because they were afraid their fish would fall and die, and Twilight was shocked because this was beyond physics breaking. "PUT ME DOWN! PUT ME DOWN YOU FOOL CAT!!!!" Crinklebein said. The cat then held up his hand and then put it back down before popping the bubbles that were balancing the fish. The fish was preying for his life but stopped to find that the cat was letting him down. He popped all the bubbles and the fish landed with a thud. "OUTRAGEOUS!! Now let me repeat and I don't like to shout, BUT HE SHOULD NOT BE HERE WHILE YOUR MOTHER IS OUT!!!!!" Crinklebein shouted. "It's up to you kids, whatever you say. If you think me untrustworthy, send me away." The cat said with a sad look. The kids then thought for a moment. "Well, he is getting the house sort of messy and dirty, and mother." Sally said. "Yeah mother, back home at 3:30." Sam added. The cat sighed. "A vote of no confidence." The cat said walking away lumping down. "I most humbly bow to the voice of the maturity. Goodbye now, off to Siberia." The cat said walking out and closing the door. Twilight then looked and got a sad feeling in her heart. He didn't deserve that. Next chapter coming later today! > A Moss-covered Three-handled Family Gredanza > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Everyone was still looking out the door when the cat left, he didn’t deserve that. Then all of a sudden, the cat came running back in that startled everyone. He had a determined look on his face like he was looking for something. “Somebody stole my moss-covered three-handled family gredanza! Nobody’s gonna leave this room until I find it!” The cat said pointing to the fish. Twilight, the kids, and Crinklebein all got confused looks on their faces. “Pardon me sir, you lost your moss-covered wha?” Sam and Twilight said in unison. “Three-handled Family Gredanza!” The cat said. The fish replied with a hmph and the cat assumed he stole it. “So, that’s your attitude eh Crinklestein? Did you steal it?” The cat said. Twilight just looked at him with the most over-the-top expression ever seen from a pony. Twilight was about to ask something before the cat spoke again. "there's a, gredanza snatcher in the house." The cat said. He then walked towards the piano sad and heartbroken. Seeing this broke Twilight's heart too. She didn't understand why, but she loved animals too and hates it when they're sad or depressed, and this cat, is no different. "Things will never- be the same." The cat said. He then proceeded to play a sad song on the piano.
